Feeling overwhelmed

Yes
I am experiencing the same feelings as you. I finished treatments at the end of July and I feel like I'm melting down. I am seeing a psychologist who is helping me. She says that in our society we expect to get over obstacles in life withing a few months. We expect it of ourselves and other people. We need to cut ourselves some slack and let our bodies and minds heal. I am working on respecting myself and not expecting too much too soon. Best wishes for a smooth transition.0 -

Feeling overwhelmed does not equal crazy I have no words of wisdom but I did want to send you a virtual hug. As another cancer battler (ovarian) mentioned to me, we get through this one day at a time. We rely on friends, family, community boards and whatever means we can for support when we are feeling "less than strong".0
